The Snake ID Defended.

The snake performs valuable service
to man - destroying destructive insects
and keeping the waters Of ponds and
streams pure and wholesome. It graft
e. mans @sthetic sense by its brillian-
81 q coloring and the ease and grace Of
itB movements. The flesh of the snake
constitutes q nutritious article Of diet,
and It's oil IS useful for healing purposes.
Like every other created thing the ser
pent has been placed ID the world to do
some specific work, and 50 far as man
can learn it does It well.
But IS not the snake cruel, crafty and
treacherousa This Is superstition
which has been proven to be false BIZ all
the observed facts. II Is q delusion
which was begotten BY the erroneous
Scrptural Interpretation, propaga ed BY
thoughtlessness, and which has ignor-
ance and prejudice ~ its sole excuse fol
being Globe Democrat.

watches on Board ship.

The system of watches common to the
naval and merchant marine of many
countries, especially on American, Eng-
lish and German vessels, consists IN
dividing the day into watches of four
hours each, and dividing the crew into
the starboard Or port watches, each tax
ing alternately q four hours watch.
The time of each watch is told off on
the ships bell at intervals Of half an
hour. Half past u, half past 4 and
half past 8, day and night, are indi-
Gated BY one tap Of the bell; two bells
mean |, 5 and o'clock, and so on to
eight bells, which mean A, s and IL. The
bells are sounded by twos; thus, five
bells will be twoy strokes near together,
then two other strokes, then one stroke.
Eight bells are stFncl ~ s5ds doubleka.
The dreaded midwatchn Is from mid
night to o'clock IN the morning. 10
avoid this watch always falling to the
same division Of men the watch from 4 to
8 in the evening is sometimes cut in two
at o'clock; the watch coming on at
4 serving only till 8, instead Of 8, and
the watch following coming on at and
serving till s. Then the watch which
went off at s comes on again at 8. This
shifts the scheme every twenty -four
hours. Ii

BOISE DExocRAr: We are in
formed that the Board Of Trade give
their money to an outside paper for
publishing descriptive article Of
Boise City instead Of giving it to
home papers, which have for years
been telling Of cur wonderful resour-
ces without cost. Truthful articles
presented in attractive style printed
in the local press carry more weight
than would the same appearing in pa
pers printed elsewhere. There is not
newspaper in town that could not
have produced better article than
that which appeared in the Salt Lake
Tribune, and furnished any number
of copies required of the issue con-
tanning 1t. Each newspaper in Boise
City should have been employed to
give an especially prepared descrip-
ton of the town and county, as well
as general outline of the Territory,
and printed so many thousand extra
copies of the number in which it ap-
peared. To go to paper published
in an adjoining Territory to boom
the town doesn't look we'll abroad
any more than at home. Joe Ross,
the only convict in the penitentiary
who acknowledged his guilt and said
he deserved his punishment and re-
fused executive clemency in his be-
half, was to-day pardoned against
his expressed wish by Gov. Stevenson.
He had been in several years and had
about month to serve, after which
he said he would go to his wife and
children in Cassia county and thence
forth lead an honest life. The Gov
ernor heard of his case, inquired
into his conduct, had an interview
with him, and, after hearing his state
ment that he was guilty, deserved it,
wanted no pardon, and his determi-
nation to profit by the experience,
astonished the man by abruptly say
ing: "You are pardened now. Re-
turn to your family and henceforth
be a man." And his pardon was
forthwith made out. Whiskey had
caused his crime. :. The penitentiary
has now eighty prisoners, the Squaw
Henebe being the only woman. The
Washington Territory penitentiary, al
Walla Walla, has l07 prisoners, with
| only one woman.

A Jew Devil,

On Sunday last team Of horses
attached to vegetable wagon,owned
by Chinese rancher near Bellevue
ran away while in the vicinity Of
Holman's ranch just below town.
Lung Chuey was driving, Charley Bo
occupied seat with him, while =
tniro Chinaman was asleep in the
wagon. The attempt to stop the
fractious horses proved unavailino
and Lung Chuey was thrown to the
ground, Charley Bo jumped from the
wagon and the remaining celestial
was still fast asleep, Chuey struck
on his head and never spoke after his
fall. He was conveyed to town and
died on Monday, while Charley Bo
more fortunate, nurses bruised lin
and a sore back. The funeral of the
dead Chinaman took place on Thurs
day under the auspices of the Celes-
tial Masonic fraternity and was ac-
companied by the usual hea,henish
demonstrations. The friends of the
dead man lay his misfortune to the
presence of a "Jew Devil" that they
say frequents that part of the road
which scared the horses and started
them to run away. 1t was near the
spot where Aaron Morris was muir
dered four years ago by footpads, the
recollection of which is still vivid in
the memory OF the older residents of
ketchum. The superstition of the
the Chinese lead them to believe that
the ghost of the murdered man still
roams in that vicinity and is constant
ly on the watch to revenge his un-
timely taking off and will remain
there until his murderers are cap
tured and punished. One of the Hop
Wo company to which the deceased
belonged sums up the accident as
follows-"Jew devil live down there
all the time; heap catchee horse,
mak'em 'fraid then catchee Lung
Chuey, throw him out wagon, kill
him, you sabe. By'n by catchee
George Warren allie ame."- Ketch.

SERAFINo GAILAcIE Co.'s CRAZY
Last evening Constable Joe White
brought up from Shoshone an insane
man named Serahno Gallacie. The
unfortunate man was found in hay
NOW on the ranch of Mr.. Murphy,
four miles below Shoshone, yesterday
morning with hardly any clothing on.
Being numb from cold, he was taken
into the house and warmed up, when
he became raving maniac and began
throwing things around the house
promiscuously. Mr.. Murphy, oecom-
ing apprehens've as to the safety OF
his family, seized shotgun, which
was loaded with birdshot, and dis
charged both barrels at Gallacie, the
shot taking effect in the breast, arms
and face, and putting out the right
eye.
Gallacie's hands and feet were badly
frozen, and the great toe of each foot
will have to be amputated, Wher
he went to the ranch, or how long he
had remained in the hay NOW in moi

send man to Washington to oppose
the annexation of that county to

a great diversity of sentiment in
Kootenai and Shoshone counties,
some wanting to go to Montana,
others to Washington, and good
majority preferring to remain in old
Idaho. The question will be settled
at the coming session of congress
against annexation, definitely and ir-
revocably, and then the people will
be able to give their time and atten-
ton to work of practical Importance
like the opening of the reservation,
the building of the Salmon river wag-
on road aud other matters that will be
of real benefit to the country and
everybody in it. The people will
learn after awhile that the selfish
schemers who foment sectional strife
are not their real friends. Time will

ment. Mr.. Venable, who has charge
of the development work for the
Granite Mountain Company, has
struck large body of ore, from

lor and Mr.. Black also brought in
samples from the bottom of the shaft
on the Junction that assay from 800
to $3.50 per ton. The average of the
whole ledge which is about twenty

that have been made, at s25 per ton,
The tunnel on the Junction Is now in
